Kerry says he's in a 'fighting mood' as others defend his Vietnam record
TACOMA, Wash. (AP)


Democratic Sen. John Kerry said Saturday he's in a "fighting mood" with two months to go to the presidential election as his allies defended him from questions about his valor in Vietnam.

"For the last four years, we've had a dark cloud over Washington," Kerry told several thousand people gathered under overcast skies. "We're going to get rid of it on November 2."

In a 45-minute speech, Kerry stuck to offense against Bush's record and left defense against the Vietnam War criticisms that have dominated the race the last two weeks to two other veterans who introduced him. ..

"I think that it's outrageous that the president of the United States can question the medals and the service and the valor of American veterans who have served," said Clark, a retired four-star Army general. "It's offensive against every veteran in this country." ..
